The Movie With Encapsulating Moments

When I was 12 my mom told me , "never judge a book by it's cover."
So when I was 22 I did.

After seeing "My name is Khan" I am forced to take back my views in my previous posts about this movie's promos. Yes, this Karn johar movie is predictable, yes, its also based in US but its filled with hair raising moments and great performances. My Name Is Khan is oddly compelling and at times riveting. The journey of Rizwan khan takes you on a 2.5 hrs emotional ride.

I am not going to talk about the story,screenplay,music as such . I liked the movie for it's encapsulating moments. Thus, I am going to tell you about that. I felt a little awkward to see the super star as an autistic person but after 5 minutes I started to love the character.


1. Kajol takes a chocolate from the table all ready to put it in the mouth glances over to shahrukh, shahrukh shakes his head and gestures like a fat person meaning "don't eat it, it will make you fat." Kajol puts it back on the table.

2. Shahrukh talking bout the usp of the product that he sells-kajol blocking his vision-shahrukh avoiding eye contact-finally meeting her eyes-kajol saying "I'll take it."

3.Shahrukh proposing to kajol while having haircut.

4.Kajol looks over San Francisco ( covered in early morning smoke), wearing her night suit, says "Marry Me" to shahrukh and audience all goes "Awwww."

5.Shahrukh telling Kajol - he has read "intercourse For dumbos" that he knows everything about sex - on their wedding night.

6. Shahrukh goes to a fund raising event for African children where he'll get the chance to meet the President, gives $500 required to have dinner with the President. The lady doesn't let him go inside, since, its a Christian only event and returns the money. Shahrukh then tells her to keep it for non Christian african children.

This is probably the first movie where Shahrukh doesn't lip sync. I have to say Karan johar has come of age , it's not a very powerfull movie but still spreads the msg of peace and communal harmony powerfully. If you don't go expecting too much from the movie then you will not be disapointed.

If you happened to like the song "Tere Naina" you'll start loving it after watching the movie.
